what motor were you looking to put in? you definately want a jdm not a P.O.S. usdm engine and you probably want to go b18 or k20 but it all depends how much money you have and how much you want to spend

He could make his current engine a fish tank! You know, because he wants an engine swamp! LOL! I had to point that out, I'm sorry. LOL! But 2000hcsi is right about the options he gave you. With all the aftermarket stuff available for the newer engines, it's wise to upgrade. Not much is out there for the older stuff.

(K20 do it up)  lol there are many options for the swap such as the B engines (b16,b18,b20) lol but if you want power and you got the money either go B18, K20, or even check into the newer accord engines F20,F22 engines lol start with looking into the engine swap. remember more power = new brakes + new suspension (and also remmember that itll all doesnt needs to go in at once)

lol i can't honestly say i noticed he wanted a swamp. now don't i look like a idiot saying he should get a new motor. the hormone is right though and you should definately upgradee the brakes and suspension. the new accord motors are beasts though. my mom has the v6 and that thing's quick. what is the engine anyways, i haven't looked under the hood yet and salesman have no clue, at least the one we were dealing with

Sales men are sheep. All they do is read off of some pamphlet and quote to you. I get that from the sales guys at my dealer. B-A-A-A-A-A-A! LOL! I've been hearing a lot of good things about the K20. I'de look into that.
In keeping with the sheep... One dude at my dealer said to me that he built up a Nissan Sentra, a 2002, with some slicks on the back wheels. So, I said, "Oh, you converted it?" And he said, "What?". I said, "You know, converted it so that you can use the slicks in the back." He said that it was still a front drive and that he had put slicks on for better traction on acceleration...
I had to blink several times and I jerked my shoulder a bit. I had to ask again, "You did what, now?"
He repeated it and I yelled, "Can we all say, HERE'S YOUR SIGN...?!"
You all know that this cat is a moron. A sales man! WOW! Sorry, I had to share that. I thought it was funny.

How country can some one get...? HERE"S YOUR SIGN! LOL! That's cool because I've seen that as well in my wifes home town in Montrose, New York. I saw an early 80s Camaro done up the same way. They most likely like to mud bog or some thing. LOL! That's my wifes home town motto. "Montrose, home of the mud bog!" LOL!
